We just bought a new Samsung very similar to this about 18 months ago. Does a really good job of evenly cooling the refrigerator side. The control panel LED indicators started dying right after we got it, entire panel replaced under warranty. No problems since, ice dispenser works well. Most importantly, SWMBO loves it. I think it needs one more shelf in the door. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300, '87 300TD

A bit of boiling water deals with that, but it is a PITA. I kinda like those Sammy fridges, for our new kitchen I'm sure I will be directed to acquire another, I kinda like this one as it is the biggest that will fit in a standard space (though I could make a bigger space). http://www.samsung.com/us/appliances/refrigerators/RSG307AARS/XAA Bestbuy has them for a lot less than SRP and I am sure I could beat on Lowes or others for a better price when the time comes. --R On 10/12/11 10:37 AM, Walt Zarnoch wrote: > I think this is the one we have. http://tinyurl.com/354sou3 > > Yours is newer, so the issue we had with he cooling coils should be > non-existent.
